  2. 1. Computational Models for Animating 3D Virtual Faces

    Author : Marco Fratarcangeli; Robert Forchheimer; Marco Schaerf; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Automatic synthesis of facial animation in Computer Graphics is a challenging task and although the problem is three decades old by now, there is still not a unified method to solve it. This is mainly due to the complex mathematical model required to reproduce the visual meanings of facial expressions coupled with the computational speed needed to run interactive applications.

  4. 2. Masculinities at work. Male-to-male internet escorting in Italy and Sweden

    Author : Marco Bacio; Genusvetenskapliga institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Male sex work; Masculinity; Prostitution; Sexual markets; Clients; Italy; Sweden;

    Abstract : This research aims to map and analyse the phenomenon of male sex workers (specifically men who sell sex to other men) in Italy and Sweden. While female sex work has been studied by several scholars worldwide, there is a lack of attention on the male side of the phenomenon. READ MORE

  5. 3. Coherent structures and control in wall-bounded turbulent flows

    Author : Marco Atzori; Philipp Schlatter; Ricardo Vinuesa; Oscar Flores; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Turbulent boundary layers; numerical simulations; coherent structures; predetermined flow control.; Turbulenta gränsskikt; numeriska simuleringar; koherenta strukturer; förutbestämd flödeskontroll; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with two distinct topics related to the study of wall-bounded turbulence: the connection between instantaneous three-dimensional coherent structures and mean-flow properties, and the development and analysis of pre-determined control techniques for adverse-pressure-gradient boundary layers.We examined regions with intense velocity fluctuations in various flowcases.

  6. 4. Brain functional near infrared spectroscopy in human infants : cerebral cortical haemodynamics coupled to neuronal activation in response to sensory stimulation

    Author : Marco Bartocci; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Near infrared spectroscopy; newborn; infant; brain; sensory stimulation; cortical activation;

    Abstract : The assessment of cortical activation in the neonatal brain is crucial in the study of brain development, as it provides precious information for how the newborn infant processes external or internal stimuli. Thus far functional studies of neonates aimed to assess cortical responses to certain external stimuli are very few, due to the lack of suitable techniques to monitor brain activity of the newborn.

  7. 5. Enabling Scalable Data Analysis on Cloud Resources with Applications in Life Science

    Author : Marco Capuccini; Ola Spjuth; Johan Tordsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cloud computing; bioinformatics; Big Data; microservices; containers; MapReduce; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Over the past 20 years, the rise of high-throughput methods in life science has enabled research laboratories to produce massive datasets of biological interest. When dealing with this "data deluge" of modern biology researchers encounter two major challenges: first, there is a need for substantial technical skills for dealing with Big Data and; second, infrastructure procurement becomes difficult.
